Re: Nozzle leaks...(m) (archive)

Ok, service guy called Jaguar Canada and they don't know anything about control valves apparently so he just changed the one I have now and seems to have worked! Drove around today and came home WITHOUT the streaks. I hope it wasn't a quick fix, and if it is, I hope they do a fix for this.

Condensation seems to have dissapeared. Or maybe I'm just pissed about the washer nozzles that I just haven't noticed the condensation as much. Anyways I'm going back to jap dealership now and see if they finally have the control valve that they didn't know about when I went a few days ago. I'll keep you guys updated. Oh and I haven't found any other problems besides this and its mostly an annoyance so you guys expecting your shaguars shouldn't worry too much!

What about your original problem, condensation inside the headlamps? What was the build date on your car, ours should arrive this week and I am wondering if it will have this valve installed? Is there any site that lists Jaguar TSBs like this?

Went to service and had the guy look at the nozzles and he told me it was normal! Then I told him about the control valve that would stop the leaking and he said he doesn't know anything about it. He even got the other service guys to check the other X-types on the lot and it did the same thing. Gonna go back and bitch to them about this. The washer fluid has already left stains on my hood that I can't get off. And I've only had the car for a week!

Your service department needs to install a control valve in the washer fluid line to stop the nozzles from leaking. Jaguar has started to add this valve to newly produced cars. Evidently this problem is pretty common. I was given this information when I brought my car in for service and the service advisor checked with Jaguar technical suppoet.

Hi I just picked up my 2.5 X about...3 hours ago and noticed when i got home that all 4 of the headlights has condensation on the bottom area. I have the HIDs but i don't think that would have anything to do with it. Anyways does anybody experience the same thing?
Besides this little annoyance, I love this car!

You refer to "HIDs", are those optional or standard? The reason I ask is I have also have a 2.5 on order. I'm hoping your answer is that HIDs are the "optional" high intensity lights. Please reply.

Thanks

Sorry forgot to mention, yes they are the HIDs that are optional.
Update: condensation is gone this morning but noticed streaks of washer fluid all over the hood from the 2 nozzles...hmmm
